NEW YORK — The Federal Bureau of Investigation has joined the search for Karina Vetrano’s killer, police sources said.
The FBI assisted the NYPD in developing a criminal profile for the NYPD in the August 2 killing of the jogger, who was strangled after she went for a run in Queens’ Gateway National Park.
The park is federal property, managed by the National Park Service.
The suspect "is likely familiar with the park and he may have spent time there for any of a variety of reasons," the profile states.
Her killer is likely a man who "in the hours after the attack, likely appeared disheveled in appearance with possible scratches or cuts to his hands, arms, neck, or face," according to the profile.
The suspect may have changed his appearance and noticeably changed his level of alcohol, drug, or tobacco use, while monitoring media reporting on Vetrano's death.
